[00:00.360]Maria -The Nuns
[00:05.260]She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
[00:07.830]Her dress has got a tear
[00:10.270]She waltzes on her way to Mass
[00:12.600]And whistles on the stair
[00:14.950]And underneath her wimple
[00:17.30]She has curlers in her hair
[00:19.770]I even heard her singing in the abbey
[00:24.480]She's always late for chapel
[00:26.689]But her penitence is real
[00:29.359]She's always late for everything
[00:31.919]Except for every meal
[00:34.319]I hate to have to say it
[00:36.559]But I very firmly feel
[00:39.289]Maria's not an asset to the abbey
[00:44.188]I'd like to say a word in her behalf
[00:49.218]Maria makes me laugh
[00:56.108]How do you solve a problem like Maria
[01:00.218]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down
[01:04.208]How do you find a word that means Maria
[01:08.168]A flibbertijibbet A will-o'-the wisp A clown
[01:12.547]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
[01:16.537]Many a thing she ought to understand
[01:20.357]But how do you make her stay
[01:22.397]And listen to all you say
[01:24.637]How do you keep a wave upon the sand
[01:28.427]Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria
[01:33.47]How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand
[01:45.367]When I'm with her I'm confused
[01:47.197]Out of focus and bemused
[01:48.887]And I never know exactly where I am
[01:52.817]Unpredictable as weather
[01:54.647]She's as flighty as a feather
[01:56.407]She's a darling She's a demon She's a lamb
[02:00.167]She'd outpester any pest
[02:02.147]Drive a hornet from it's nest
[02:03.967]She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
[02:07.927]She is gentle She is wild
[02:09.877]She's a riddle She's a child
[02:11.817]She's a headache She's an angel
[02:14.787]She's a girl
[02:19.637]How do you solve a problem like Maria
[02:23.467]How do you catch a cloud and pin it down
[02:27.337]How do you find a word that means Maria
[02:31.337]A flibbertijibbet A will-o'-the wisp A clown
[02:35.706]Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
[02:39.676]Many a thing she ought to understand
[02:43.546]But how do you make her stay
[02:45.786]And listen to all you say
[02:47.946]How do you keep a wave upon the sand
[02:51.796]Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria

Maria -The Nuns
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear
She waltzes on her way to Mass
And whistles on the stair
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair
I even heard her singing in the abbey
She's always late for chapel
But her penitence is real
She's always late for everything
Except for every meal
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Maria's not an asset to the abbey
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
Maria makes me laugh
How do you solve a problem like Maria
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down
How do you find a word that means Maria
A flibbertijibbet A will-o'-the wisp A clown
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her

How do you keep a wave upon the sand
Oh how do you solve a problem like Maria
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand
When I'm with her I'm confused
Out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather
She's as flighty as a feather
She's a darling She's a demon She's a lamb
She'd outpester any pest
Drive a hornet from it's nest
